About us

Committee 2019

Who we are?

The SEG Student Chapter Freiberg is a union of students who are interested in Economic Geology and related fields. Our field trips are subsidised trough financial support by the Society of Economic Geologists. Besides field trips to deposit districts both past and present, we aim to organise presentations, workshops and short courses in conjunction with the department (professorship) of Economic Geology and Petrology Lehrstuhl für Lagerstättenlehre und Petrologie.

Our members benefit from connecting with other like minded students. We maintain intense contacts with the nearby SEG Student Chapters in Brno, Munich and Leoben as well as with the SGA Student Chapter Prague.
